you're such a simp (Mason thames x OC)

chapter 42

I hear a knock on my door and I open  it to find Alyvia. She's standing there confused. "Oh my god, girl you look rough. Everything ok?" I shake my head and tears pour out of my eyes. "M-me and Mason are on a break. Umm Griffin came round and confessed he loved me. I said I didn't feel the same, Mason came and saw him and next thing I know they're fighting." She walks in and hugs my tightly.

"Oh my girl, its ok, I got you, I got you." She smooths my hair while hugging me. "I- I don't know why it's like this. I didn't know Griffin was flirting with me." I continue to sob. "It's not your fault Eves, don't blame yourself. Men are just jerks." She laughs, earning a snotty and teary laugh from me. "How about we get you inside, then I make us some nice warm coco. I've got a new show for us to watch aswell." She smiles, looking down at me from her lap. "I'd like that."

Once she gets me up and into my house she takes some makeup remover from my room upstairs and helps clean me up. Then we go downstairs and she makes me some hot coco and gets a blanket from upstairs and cuddles up next to me. "You've gotta give the show a chance. It's definitely something your mom would've loved but it's so good." She wraps her arm around my shoulder, letting my head rest on her. "Okay, fine. What's it about?" I give her a small smile, trying to make best of the time me and her have together.

"Okay so basically, her husband was this big politician, then she finds out he cheated on her with like, a bunch of prostitutes. Then he goes to jail for like tax fraud or some shit and she has to go back to being a lawyer." I zone out after she starts talking about how attractive some lawyer named Will Gardner is and she puts the TV on.

About 4 episodes in, I feel my phone vibrate in the pattern of a someone calling me. I look at it to see that Miguel is the one trying to reach me. I answer with a small "Hey." I hear him sigh in relief once I respond. "Thank god, hey Eves, I heard what happened I just got back from hanging with Mason and I wanted to check on you." I smile at the fact he was worried about me. "I'm feeling as good as I can be. Liv is here watching I think it's called the good wife or something."

"Yeah, and it's one of the greatest things ever!" She shouts loud enough to be heard. "Well Tristan, Becca and I thought it'd be a good idea if we came to see you, if you don't want us there that's fine but we do really miss you." I hear Tristan and Becca on the other end of the phone say hi. "Yeah of course. See you guys soon." Miguel hangs up the phone and I sit up. "Your boyfriend and some of the others are on their way." I see Alyvia clearly smile at the thought of Tristan, but quickly stop. "Don't feel like you two can't be your usual self's because of me today." I say to her.

"I know, but I don't want to rub it in your face. I know me and Tristan are far from perfect, but right now we're in a really good place and I don't want you to think we don't understand what arguments feel like." She grabs ahold of both my hands.  "Oh Liv, I know you're not like that." I hug her out of reassurance. She quickly returns the hug and as if on que, the door knocks, the trio on the phone before outside with chocolates and flowers.

"We bought your favori-" Tristan tries to speak but Becca cuts him off. "I bought your favourite chocolates and flowers, these two just helped me hold them." She laughs which I can't help but let a smile come to my face. They come inside and Tristan and Alyvia stare at eachother, unsure as to if they should be their usual self's. "My god, just kiss already." I shout with a smirk on my face, the two look at me one last time and I nod my head. Seconds later his arm is around her and he has placed a kiss on her forehead.

We all sit on my couch with the chocolates and drinks and hand Becca the remote. "We're definitely gonna need to watch this." She puts on the scream franchise. The first one to begin. "We're gonna be here a while." Miguel jokes, cuddling up into Tristan, one of Tristans arms around Miguel, the other around Alyvia. I lay my head on Beccas lap and she strokes my hair. My mom walks in during the second film. "Oh hey kids, everything ok?" She asks. Tension is in the air. I have to tell her but I don't want to infront of them.

"Umm mom, can we talk about it privately?" I ask. A look of concern washes over her face at my seriousness. "Of course honey, in the hallway." I get up and tell the others I'll be back in a bit. I tell her everything. Every detail building up to what happened today, except that the fight was outside the house, not inside it. She'd never let guests in again if that were the case.

"My darling girl, don't think this is your fault. Boys are dumb at they don't get smarter or more mature as time goes on." She holds me close to her. My eyes tearing up. "Will we get past this? He's my world mom." I look up from her embrace. "He will learn to get over himself. You also need to learn to take a hint. You're a bright girl but you're sometimes so so clueless." She chuckles and I laugh back to her.

"I love you mom." I hold her a little tighter and she let's out a soft sigh. "I know. I love you too. You and me against the world Ev." It's a saying my mom used to say when it was just the two of us. Just before her gossip girl break when we were in a really small apartment in New York bearly making ends meet. To soothe me to sleep she'd always say "you and me against the world." She says it whenever I'm upset, or if we've had a fight. Even when it's been a while since we've talked. Just as a reminder.

"You and me against the world mom." We stay like that a while, before I return to the others and take my place back on Becca's lap. "If your friends wanna stay the night because of, things, they're more than wellcome." My mom says from the kitchen. The four of them smile and agree to stay. We finish the scream series at around 12. I fall asleep with my friends. This week is going hard, but I know they'll help me get through it.
